I'm 20, student of YSDN design program 2013. Here is just an overall collection of design & photography work I've done over the past few years. If this is the will of God, I'll be pursuing the graphic design field in the near future. ;) Feel free to contact me and involve me with the project ideas you have in mind!

I then turned them into nice desktops :)
FAITH, Heb 11:1
This was a project done for Time Based Communication class. The end product had pretty much nothing to do with my initial idea, however I think this really pushes me to break the standard and expectations. In the end, Faith isn’t something we can control and it is way more powerful than how we perceive it to be.
Typographic illustration of the name “Sodom & Gomorra”.
I had the opportunity to explain to my class about this event in the bible. I’ve seen others using this project to illustrate beautiful words such as “Jesus” or “God is Good”, but I believe that we too often present the gospel in a friendly way and neglect the part where He tells us to repent. Yes God is love, and God is Just.
Equipment: Adobe Illustrator CS4
Poster: GENETICS
Our project was to compose a typographic poster with an assigned word, mine was GENETICS. Hence I thought of using genetically mutated vegetables that are shaped like the letters themselves. It was fun running around markets to look for these because most supermarkets filtered out the ‘ugly’ ones, which we can find at places like farmer’s market.

InfoGraph: INBOX
I’ve taken data from my gmail inbox over a 2 weeks period of time, categorized the emails and made visual representation of the percentages.

I created this one also for time based communication course, which I enjoyed very much. It was all done with water color paint on canvas. I’ve also recorded and arranged the sound myself, exported with garageband. The goal of this assignment was to create a visual representation that fits with the sound.

This is a motion piece I did for Timebase communication course. Everything was done by myself from scratch. Although the process was long, I learned a lot about animating and how to design for motion. The goal of this assignment was to make an academy countdown without the last two seconds.
This video was done through putting together around 300 photographs which I’ve also drawn on in photoshop. All the pictures were shot downtown toronto on a busy friday morning.

Bryan Adams booklet
This was done for a typography class in second year ysdn. We had to research on an influential canadian, and I chose Bryan Adams. All photos were sourced from the internet, and the paragraphs were put together by myself after reading a few articles.
Equipments: Adobe InDesign CS4
“Stress”
The assignment was to choose a word and represent it in a way that the medium speaks for the meaning. I’ve used elastic bands to make the word because when the bands are all stretched out, there is a sense of stress within.

“Everything is Beautiful”
These are lyrics from the song - “Everything is Beautiful” by Starfield. We had to lay out the words on 2 full magazine spreads.

Light UP the world 2011
I was asked to make a logo for this church basketball tournament, the original concept was provided so I did the illustrating part of it. They’ve also made it into a t-shirt :)

I enjoyed making this infoGraph a lot, more so than the other ones. The project was to take a set of simple data over a time period and turn them into a 12x18” poster. My approach was to make the data appealing yet easy to understand. The challenge however was to keep the measurements of the graph accurate in a mathematical sense.
